proof the NYT doesn't know how to read charts. the blue line tops the red line pre-vaccine because the virus was still spreading more easily in densely-populated cities which tend to vote blue. that doesn't mean "masks and school closures don't work!" it means there were literally more people necessarily interacting which increased chances of transmission.
"before vaccines, blue counties had more deaths because masks don't work. masks work, but having to wear a mask doesn't work. I am still big mad about having to wear a mask in a restaurant so I don't crop dust an entire building with germs. liberals were wrong and stupid for trying to stop the spread pre-vaccine."
the way he got through this entire section without ONCE pointing out where that partisan gap came from, why conservatives are so antivax and anti-anything towards Covid specifically. 
this guy is also still big mad that he couldn't have wine-tasting parties and had to choose between funding safety practices for his kids' school or staying home with them himself.
my kids' school is one of the only ones I heard of that opened in the fall of '20 with near-hospital-grade protocols - halved class sizes, desk shields, mask mandates, face shields, 3x daily cleaning, half-days for remote learning, daily screenings & shutdowns if cases got too high. but that all costs $$$.
okay... good??? am I supposed to be concerned, or even remotely surprised, that the right is infuriated by:
* a Democrat
* a woman
* a Black person
* someone prosecuting Trump for his crimes
* someone prosecuting the NRA for their crimes
* all of the above?
personally I'd say if you're not pissing off the right, you're making some bad life choices.
it would be kind of hilarious if the shittiest princess died of Covid, and being unmarried made the shittiest prince ineligible for the crown and then Charles croaks and Prince Harry & Meghan become King & Queen 😂
It's odd that she's been MIA for so long after "abdominal surgery". I know many women who have had abdominal surgery of some sort, myself included, and never disappeared for months. Yes, I know things are different in Kate's circle, but still, the whole thing is really strange. And now a picture that seems to have been manipulated? 🤔
Weird.
@JoyfullyDazed and the Palace covers up royal illnesses all the time. weren't they also like "no the Queen's fine, fit as a fiddle" and then she died like 3 days later?
